WCA presents Analyze This! : 700 MHz Auctions November 6, 2007

An analyst panel addressing the 700 MHz auctions featuring:

-- Quentin Hardy, Silicon Valley Bureau Chief, Forbes
-- Andy Seybold, Founder & Principal, Andy Seybold Inc.
-- Mike Thelander, Chief Executive Officer, Signals Research
-- Clint McClellan, Sr. Director of Market Intelligence, QUALCOMM (moderator)

The 700 MHz auctions are just around the corner. The old-guard cellular operators and the new-world Internet companies like Google are all getting ramped up to bid for "beach-front spectrum." There are some interesting twists to this auction not seen before; strict bidder anonymity, anti-collusion directives, and some well-funded but non-traditional players potentially taking the mound to throw some curve-balls. Are you ready? Want to learn about what this could mean to you?

Come to the Wireless Communication Alliance's Mobile SIG event "Analyze This! : The 700 MHz Auctions" and see a top-notch panel of analysts discuss the 700 MHz auctions. The panel will include Quentin Hardy of Forbes, Andy Seybold of 4Mobility, and Mike Thelander of Signals Research Group. Clint McClellan of QUALCOMM will serve as moderator.

This elite panel of experts will examine questions such as: How might this auction proceed, and what might the US broadband landscape look like when the dust settles? Who are the likely winners & losers of this auction, and are there any dark-horses? Is there enough spectrum available in this auction to provide a new player with enough spectrum to build a new nationwide network? How will Open Access really play out? Will anyone bid on the shared commercial/first responder portion of the spectrum? What (if any) are the possible unintended consequences to these auctions?
